Time: October 5, 2011 from 1pm to 2pm

Event Description:
Twitter Chat “Adopting the Luxury Mind Set” with @CiaraDaykin
Wednesday, October 5th, 10:00 PST, 1:00 EST & 6:00 GMT (in UK) 

Ciara Daykin is the founder of Rockstar Wedding Planner and creator of the original wedding planning mastermind, the Community of Wedding Innovators. She is also the owner and CEO of Firefly Occasions, Inc., an award winning wedding and event planning company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She grew her business quickly by being a resource to brides via her email newsletter which now has over 10,000 brides subscribed to receive her bi-weekly advice and tips. Ciara has had her weddings and her articles published in various magazines and blogs internationally and puts on a yearly event coaching wedding planners to create and grow businesses that they will love. She was nominated for Event Professional of the Year by Canadian Special Events after her staff rallied together to put her up for the award. That year Ciara was hired at 8 1/2 months pregnant to plan a luxury wedding in just 3 1/2 months. She created an entire guest concierge service for the wedding helping all 200 guests with each detail leading up to the 3 day event. She transformed 3 different spaces at a Rocky Mountain property with extensive decor and surprised the guests with a performance by legendary singer, Tom Jones. The bride recounted Ciara’s dedication and “everything can be done” attitude in her speech when she told the story of Ciara even taking her calls in between contractions. Ciara is dedicated to serving luxury brides and helping more wedding planners reach this market in an authentic way. You can learn more about Ciara at www.rockstarweddingplanner.com

Wedding Planners Wanted

Do you love planning weddings but feel like running your wedding planning business is taking over your life AND your wallet? I can help you– come learn how!

Having a successful wedding planning business is just NOT as easy as loving weddings!

When I began Firefly Occasions, I quickly discovered that running the business was not as easy as it looked!

There were essential steps that I took in building Firefly Occasions that have led to its success in the planning world today.

And I want to share my secrets with you!

You can learn about this list of MUST HAVE, Wedding Planner Business Essentials (and how much they cost) from myself, the original Rockstar Wedding Planner!

And guess what? It’s FREE!

I am welcoming you to join me in Calgary on Tuesday June 14th from 6-9pm for a FREE, no cost seminar.  In only 3 hours, you will learn what you MUST have to start, grow, and maintain a successful planning business.

And if you want to be a Firefly Occasions wedding planner, there’s no time like NOW. I am on the hunt for wedding planners to join Firefly Occasions. You could be the next Firefly! I’ll give you all the details at this event.

This seminar will be in HIGH DEMAND and seats are limited.

All we ask is that you call 1-800-791-5636 ext 701 or email katie@fireflyoccasions.com by June 10th with a credit card ready to secure your spot with a $20 no show deposit.

Don’t worry! This means that a crisp $20 dollar bill will be waiting for you upon check-in because learning my secrets is too good to pass up!

This is a rare opportunity to learn from me in person.  My current coaching programs for wedding planners are between $8,500-$50,000. But the cost of this seminar is $0!

To make this an even more exciting experience the first 10 want-to be-planners to register will receive reserved front row seats at the event. (Reserved seats will be released 5 minutes before the seminar begins so don’t be late!)

Are You A Wedding Planner, Wedding Designer or a Wedding Professional Who Wants to WOW Brides and the Industry with Innovative Planning and Inspirational Design that’s Unique, Impressive, and Supports You Working on Weddings Full Time Without Struggling Financially?

They’re the weddings everyone talks about.

These are the events that you dream of doing.

What does it take to create weddings that WOW?
Innovative Planning

Inspirational Design

What if you reversed the wedding day and had dinner first and the ceremony last?

What if the centerpieces were 6’ tall?
What if the bride’s dress was made entirely out of flowers?
What if the linens were hand embroidered and made especially for your couple?
What if a celebrity performed after the first dance?

What if….

But how do you come up with ideas that will WOW your client?

How do you attract clients that want them?

And if you do, how do you charge them so that you can be a successful full time wedding planner?

Where does the inspiration for your design come from? How can you be innovative with your planning and not seem like you’re copying everyone else? Who’s going to help you with these big ideas and plans when you’re not even sure how to pay yourself? And most importantly, how do you fulfill on the promise of WOW when you’re onsite?

Classic Creations Owner and Rockstar Wedding Planner Alumni Julie Gambrell has just landed in London for the Royal Wedding. You can read about Julie and see a video of her on NBC 9 News from Colorado by clicking here.

We’ll be following Julie on Twitter @CCJulie while she covers the Royal Wedding LIVE from London!

Hey Julie- tweet to us using #royalweddingyyc.  (That’s the hashtag we’ve created for the Royal Wedding Viewing Party we’re hosting at the Glencoe Club in Calgary, Alberta, Canada).

I can’t wait to hear all of Julie’s amazing updates. She’s created so many beautiful weddings for brides in Colorado that she’s sure to pick up some amazing inspiration from the Royal Wedding, which she’ll give her own spin when she gets back to planning for her own princess brides in Denver.

The Official Royal Wedding Planner

Lady Elizabeth Anson is the Queen’s cousin, and now, the official Royal Wedding Planner. She has been extremely busy planning the upcoming wedding to be held on April 29th for Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Lady Elizabeth, founder of the London-based company, Party Planners, is no amateur! She has worked with exclusive clientele including President Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, Mick Jagger, Sting, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, designer Valentino as well as members of the royal family including Diana and Prince Charles. Lady Elizabeth was also responsible for organizing Queen Elizabeth II’s 80th birthday party at the Ritz hotel in London in 2006.

“The lunch-time reception at Buckingham Palace is expected to be a lavish affair, and will host about 600 guests including members of the royal family, members of foreign royal families, international heads of state and such celebrities as David and Victoria Beckham, and singer Sir Elton John,” says Good Morning America. Prince Charles will finish off the night by hosting a dinner for 300 of the couple’s closest family and friends.

Have a look at Lady Elizabeth’s website for some inspiration to get those creative juices flowing!: http://www.party-planners.co.uk/wealthle.asp

Grace & Luxury Live Simulcast

Wondering what the Grace & Luxury Live Simulcast will look like? You can check it out now by clicking here. We have some recorded video playing now, but imagine the virtual experience you will have once that video is live and you are participating with the people at the event in real time.

Tomorrow is our deadline for reaching the magic number of 75 live simulcast attendees for the event. Are you still wondering if this virtual opportunity is for you? 

Are you worried that you won’t get the same content as live attendees?

We plan on broadcasting every minute of the event to your computer, so you don’t need to worry about missing a thing. Unlike a normal Vegas road trip, this time, if it happens in Vegas, it doesn’t stay in Vegas, you get to see it all.

Are you thinking that attending virtually won’t provide the same networking opportunities?

If you attend the live simulcast you will be sharing the virtual space with at least 75 other virtual attendees. You will have a live chat room where you can share all of your questions, take-aways, and business ideas. It will be a great networking opportunity.

I won’t be able to attend all of the sessions live.

This isn’t a problem at all as every session is recorded as it is streamed live. You will have almost immediate access to these recordings so you can catch up on what you missed, or review a session you found interesting.

I won’t get to interact with the speakers or live audience.

Using the chat room, and Jeremie your community liaison, you will have the opportunity to have your questions answered by the speakers. Live attendees will also be able to visit the simulcast camera and say hello. We will do everything we can to make you feel like you are in the room.

If that helps you make your decision then click here and come join us in the Grace & Luxury virtual community.

The deadline for our 75 attendees is tomorrow, so come join us now.

Love and wedding planning success,

Ciara
